This week Jeremy Corbyn has faced an MPs’ revolt over the Labour party’s decision to ban McDonald’s from having a stall at its party conference. A number of MPs have accused the Labour leader of snobbery, while Corbyn’s spokesman has had to admit that he does not know what the vegetarian Labour leader could even eat at the popular fast food chain.
Happily one person is at least enjoying the ongoing row. David Cameron brought up Labour’s misfortune at PMQs. He explained that he had at first thought the party were banning John McDonnell from Labour conference, before realising it was something much worse. He added that he was “lovin'” the row, in reference to the chain’s slogan:
‘When I read they were going to ban McDonnell from the party conference, I thought it was the first sensible decision they’ve made. But it turns out it wasn’t the job destroyer they wanted to keep from their conference, it was one of Britain’s biggest employers.
